People That Purchase Guns Through Private Sale Aren’t Subject To Background Checks
A federal background check is a standard measure that is taken by stores selling guns. Stores call the government to see if a person can purchase a weapon. The government informs the store if the person is eligible to purchase a gun. This means that the person has no criminal background or any other blemishes on their record. The purpose of this is to make sure guns don’t fall into the wrong hands. At gun shows the purchasing policies are different. There are no background checks.
